True Kitchen Soda Machine — David Kendall

True Kitchen Soda Machine

The Brief: Design a soda machine with a clean aesthetic an luxury feel to compliment True Kitchen’s existing home goods

Duration: 9 months

Role: Lead Designer

The process began with dozens of sketches. True Kitchen was looking for a clean and simple design language to carry into future products.

I explored various form factors and actuation methods including turning the traditional layout of a soda machine “on it’s head”.

The final design follows what has become and industry standard layout for soda machines but with a sleek exterior.

Rendering Challenge

While not entirely necessary I always strive to render products as accurately as possible. In this case I wanted to show a bottle in the process of being carbonated, bubbles included.

Graphic Design

This project also called for some graphic exploration. The client wanted the included CO2 cylinder to feature their branding.
